Downey Brand is pleased to announce attorney Alexandra Maher has joined the firm’s litigation practice as an associate in its Sacramento office.

Prior to joining Downey Brand, Alexandra developed a strong appellate advocacy foundation through multiple fellowship and clerkship experiences. She first served as a post-graduate appellate fellow at Horvitz & Levy, the nation’s largest law firm specializing exclusively in civil appeals, before clerking for a federal appellate judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

In her free time, Alexandra enjoys running and walking with her husband, reading, and hanging out with her cat.
